“Safe Cop” program is nationally renowned for posting up to a $10,000 rewards for public information that results in the arrest and conviction of anyone who shoots a member law enforcement officer, anywhere in the United States. The posting of the Safe Cop reward has been instrumental in bringing to justice several cop killers nationwide. The “Safe Cop” program was also expanded to provide critical medical care and counseling to disabled law enforcement personnel worldwide. The NPDF will periodically establish a medical fund for the disabled officer or an immediate family member when they are financially unable to pay for medical treatment or have outstanding medical debt. Legal Defense Support Services

The NPDF’s mission statement is to “Protect & Support” the interests of law enforcement officers. Too often, dedicated law enforcement officials are victimized by criminal elements that fabricate allegations of misconduct. When the NPDF suspects that an officer is being unjustly prosecuted or has been falsely convicted it will support the efforts of the officer for complete vindication. The NPDF will also consider establishing a legal defense fund wherein 100% of the tax-deductible donations can go to the officer’s defense. The NPDF has been credited for exposing many of these injustices on national news programs, such as 60 Minutes, NBC Dateline, Fox News, CNN, among others. Medical Support Services

The NPDF is nationally renowned for providing free medical and psychological services to law enforcement officials who have become disabled in the line of duty. The NPDF will periodically establish upon request a medical fund to help the officer pay outstanding medical debt. Due to the serious increase of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD) and police suicides, the NPDF has an affiliation with the “COP 2 COP” program which offers free confidential counseling to active and retired law enforcement and public safety officers via a 24/7 hotline. Operation Kids

The “Operation Kids” program is a multi-faceted NPDF child safety program that (1) distributes free child fingerprint/DNA kits to parents (2) sponsors youth athletic events (3) posts periodic rewards on missing and kidnapped children (4) issues annual scholarships (5) funds Project Pedophile and (6) arranges lifesaving operations and medical treatment for critically ill children worldwide. This program was personally endorsed by John Walsh of America’s Most Wanted and profiled on the “CBS Early Show”.
